Has the music changed-WVLG640?
When we bought our house few years ago, I thought many of the songs on WVLG640 were songs from the 50s. These days I feel many of the songs are from the 70s. Is this because the demographics changed? I read one post indicating average age of TV owners are 60 and 61. If that is so, I guess music from our age group will be sidelined unfortunately.

I have noticed more recent decades being played but still hear a lot of 50s and 60s music.

Now you know the purpose of the tuning dial/button!

I used to love 50/60's music. Sadly, I OD'd on it here -- to the point I can't even hear some of my old favorites without flinching. But I have noticed a little more variety in the music of WGLV. It helps. Still wish there was more blues and jazz in TV's radio and in the squares, but am grateful for the little I hear.

I have lived in many places. I have never before lived in a place where you can go around the dial, AM-FM, and get maybe 2 or 3 stations and those playing the world's cheesiest music.

It's what should be banned from life (mornings, that is).

They don't play today's alternative music or anything else that often doesn't appeal to mature audiences, as long as you don't want just oldies. I am loving Pink, Bruno Mars and even Taylor Swift!! ...and really pleased with myself to be a little more up to date. |

I would think that the music on the Villages "oldies" station would change over the years. As we get older different music becomes "oldies". Music made in 1993 was twenty years ago. If you were a teenager in the mid 60s, music from the 90s to today's music would be comparable to Benny Goodman to us back then.

Could you clarify your statement? Are you saying that you can only receive 2-3 stations here in TV? I know that's not the case since I have 12 pre-sets on my radio. Now if you're saying that only 2-3 of those stations are good - that's a matter of opinion.

WVLG 64, Does a decent job especially the early show. The variety of music goes along with your never ever going to please such a vast audience. Never.
That said the Saturday programing it is practically all Rock and Roll 50's style. For me ??? Earth Wind and Fire, George Benson, Bee Gees, Kool and The Gang, Michael Feinstein, Electric Light Orchestra, George Shearing,The Four Freshmen, Four Aces. and not forgetting, Barry White. Now That's Variety...throw in Faron Young as well. Many More of course. |

I like WVLG but can't get it on the am dial in my house...only in my car. Anyone else have that problem? Hubby accuses me of having bought a cheap radio.

I just got in from a short drive listening to Sixties at 6 on Sirius radio. They just played, back to back, both versions of the Sounds of Silence. You will never hear that on WVLG. As I have said, if they play Barry Manilow more than the Beatles, you know there is something very wrong! Check out satellite radio!
